Purchasers of Global Agenda can enjoy the game’s full current content, including all current Player-vs-Player combat, Player-vs-Environment solo and co-op content, and Agency-vs- Agency seasons, without a monthly subscription payment now or in the future.

Future content updates will be delivered via optional paid expansions. The first major expansion, Sandstorm, will be included for free to the entire Global Agenda community.

To celebrate this change, the game is being offered for 33% off on Steam from now through July 5, as part of Steam’s Summer Sale. To purchase, visit the Global Agenda Steam Page.

"Hi-Rez Studios is committed to delivering the best value in PC gaming", said Todd Harris, Global Agenda Executive Producer. "In addition to including all of the game’s initial launch content for free inside the single-purchase price, we are bundling nearly 6 months worth of post-release content and features and including that within the single-purchase game. One purchase of Global Agenda let’s you experience all of this content forever with no subscription."

Global Agenda allows players to create and customize multiple agent characters, complementing FPS skills with accessible RPG-style progression. Players can co-op with friends online, compete in fast-paced multiplayer matches, and conquer persistent territory with player-formed groups called agencies. The large summer expansion, titled Sandstorm, adds weapon variation and loot, new epic weapons across every class and a brand new Open Zone area complete with quests and new missions. The first phase of Sandstorm was released in early June 2010, with the remaining phase to be released later this summer.

How are the quests in this game? Decent? Or the 'Kill 500 chickens and report back bored as shit' ?

Try the trial, it's really a love or hate thing. Some people absolutely love the way the game is, while some people dislike all the things that others like about it. You'll either end up loving this game to the max, or end up bored by it. It really depends on your taste and standards.

Is this a sign of that the game is actually gonna die soon so they do this to try and get as many extra sales of the game before closing or is it actually going strong?

They realized that both current players and people on the edge of the game had one big dislike about the game: The subscription. In the end, they'll probably end up making more money form this. I hope it's not too late for this game to get an even bigger community. This game would have sold ridiculously well if it had no fees in the beginning.

Also, it turns out there will be only two things besides expansions that cost cash.

I'm absolutely fine with this. I'm glad to see they're taking a calm,none aggressive approach to this. It's simply something for players with limited time. It's not like it takes long to reach the limit or Level 50 anyway. And even then, it's a fun journey reaching those limits the way it is.

Gonna try the trial now.. If it is good, I will definitely buy it because I have been looking for an MMO to get into for a while. I was going to wait for Star Wars TOR, and probably will still get it, but this may hold me off until then.

Played an Assault up to level 15. It was boring. Nothing ever changed from my level 5 loadout; The few weapons that get unlocked simply don't compete with the old ones. The gameplay is static and unchanging.
